Curves For My Mate.

Chapter 3

I groaned as I sat up in my bed. I slowly rubbed the sleep from my eyes as I tried to acquaint myself with the real world. I was having the best dream ever, with a shirtless Channing but the alarm just had to bring me back to harsh reality.

I got up from my very comfortable bed and made my way to the bathroom. The outer part of my left thigh started to itch so I mindlessly scratched it as I got into the shower. I don't know if I said this before but I have a habit if sleeping naked...with only panties on..sshhh..... don't tell...so it's always easy for me to just hop into the shower.

After a while I decided to get out of the shower Cause I was starting to look like a nasty dry raisin. I grabbed a towel before drying myself off and making my way back to my bedroom.

Now my bedroom wasn't large but it wasn't too tiny either, where I'd feel like I was living in a storage closet. I made my way to my simple closet but obviously I couldn't just make it there peacefully I had to trip over thin air first. Typical....

After I was dressed in a baggy shirt and some leggings paired with simple black converse I made my way downstairs for breakfast. I could feel my anxiety increase as I thought about what comments my father would make about me today...would it be I should try dieting.... or you're a wolf you most definitely should look like a fat human pubescent teen. Whatever it was I was determined to not let it get to me.

"Morning momma." I said as I placed a soft kiss on her cheek. There was nobody in this world that I loved more than my mother.

"Morning baby, how did you sleep?"

"Fantastic mom,fantastic " pulling a fake smile on my face.

I never want my mom to feel like im unhappy in any way cause I know that she'll think it was her fault so I always try my best to put on a brave face for her.

My father was not at the table yet so I relaxed a little bit.

"So are you ready honey?"

"Ready for what?"

"Well the annual ball ofcourse,you did not forget did you"she asked with one of her brows raised.

"Hi hi hi.....ofcourse not momma."

"Mmh."

Sh!t!!!!!!!!!!
I completly and utterly forgot. How does this keep on happening?
Ugh. Whatever, now that I remembered the ball was TONIGHT! I knew Haley would be here soon to try to make sure I don't flake out.
FML!!!

"I swear I didn't do it....please you have to believe me." I could feel tears brimming my eyes.

"Oh really? So who else could have done it mmh? "

"I don't know, I swear."
At this point my face was as red as a tomato.

"I know you fricking took my cookie Kat now just spit it out...!"

I could not help the laughter that just came tumbling right out of my mouth. Haley was seruiusly pissed at me for taking her cookie but in my defence it had just been laying there in the plate for like a whole two minutes unattended.

"Okay okay, I'm sorry but it is already part of me now so unless you want to cut me open... "
I instantly took that back after I saw menace in her eyes.

"No! No cutting me open.OK,let's come to an agreement. I'll make you a whole batch of cookies next time you come over."
I knew she was appeased by the bright smile on her face.

I instantly knew something was wrong when I saw the smile drop from her face.

"Kat.... if we find our mates tonight.....and they are in different packs......I...."

"Shh everything will be just fine." I tried to sound optimistic but anyone could hear the doubt in my voice. I really did not know what I would do without Haley but I definitely did not want to think about it.

"Come on slow poke,we'll be late!" Haley screamed.
I quickly looked at myself in my bathroom mirror. You can do this Kat, come on. Stop being a brat and go out there,this could be your lucky night .

I smiled at myself in the mirror. I looked really pretty tonight. The dress hugged me in all right places and the naturally done make up really brought out my chocolate brown eyes and did not make me look like a demented clown. I just hoped it would be enough to get my mate to like me.

I quickly walked out of the bathroom as I heard Haley becoming really impatient.

"Finally!gosh,I thought you were like giving birth in there or something. "
I just stared at her with my mouth wide open.

"What!" She snapped.

"You look.....beautiful " I breathed out. I could see the light blush cover her cheeks at my words. She looked absolutely stunning in a knee length tourquoise dress with a sweetheart neckline and crystals covering most of the dress. Her silver heels made a legs look extra amazing and just made her taller than her already impressive height of 5,8. My best friend looked absolutely beautiful and I can't say I wasn't a little but jealous.

"Well Thank you Kat and you look absolutely stunning yourself.....now let's go par -tey! "
We made our downstairs, which was easier for as I was not wearing heels,just simple converse. I don't think I could do a whole night of heels,those neck breakers hurt like hell.

"Oh my girls you look so beautiful! " my mom gushed. "Come on girls time for pictures "

Haley and I stood together and performed various poses as my mom took our pictures. We did not have dates so it was just us. Just as we were about to leave I heard my father call my name. Ugh, I was prepared for this right now. I slowly made my way towards him and came to a stop right in front of him.

I stood under his scrutinzing gaze for a while before he finally spoke up.
"You look wonderful baby girl" he said with a soft smile.
I felt my eyes go wide and my heart beat faster. Did he really just give me a compliment? And he used the old nick name he used on me as a child.

"Thanks dad." I said before I gave him a hug and walked out the door.
Well that certainly made me happier.

In no time we had already made it to the pack house where the ball was taking place.

"This is it Kat, let's do this!" Haley exclaimed happily. We walked up to the door hand in hand.
I could do this, I could do this, I could.....ah crap I couldn't do this.

I pulled on Haley's hand bringing us to a stop. She looked at me instantly understanding she face me a hug.
"Hey, we can do this..... together."
And with that we were again on our way into the pack house. I was going to make the best out of tonight no matter what.

"This is great!" I screamed.

"I know right!"Haley answered above the music. We had been dancing together all night. We managed to earn a couple of odd looks but that was okay,we were having a blast.
Suddenly  Haley stopped dancing her eyes staring at something behind me. I quickly turned around and saw a very handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes staring right back at her and in that moment I understood. My best friend had just found her mate and I couldn't be happier.

"Go." I prompted.
She slowly turned not wanting to break eye contact with her one and only.

"I can't just leave you here."

"Oh come on Haley, stop being a little fish and get over there."

"Fish? Really? Was that the best you could come up with?"

"Stop stalling and get moving."

She gave me a quick hug before she slowly made her way to her mate. If I didn't know any better I would say she was shy.
I stared as he embraced her in his arm and I could basically feel their love for each other already. I was very happy for her. So,so happy.

I quickly turned away knowing I looked weird all by myself in the middle of the dance floor and went to one of the tables around the room and took a seat. I felt so lonely all of a sudden. I usually enjoyed my own company but tonight was different. I yearned for something, but what I have no idea.
I huffed in annoyance.
Well this was going to be a long night.
